99 year old woman becomes oldest in the country to survive COVID. Puts her recovery down to marmalade sandwiches! Fair play to her!

Can't believe anyone thinks the current level of NHS funding and the state of it's capabilities is ok.
Yes it has got collapsed yet but mate people are dying as they don't have the right ppe

If he didn't shake hands then why the hell is he boasting about it on live television? That's even worse, making stuff up and telling the nation.
Dangerous and irresponsible.

Austria says general lockdown measures will be extended until the end of April
- Aim is to let smaller shops reopen on 14 April
- Aim for 1 May is to reopen all shops, shopping malls
- Schools will remain closed until at least mid-May
- Restaurants, hotels will reopen step by step from mid-May at the earliest
- But a decision on that will come in late April
- No events will be held until at least late June
- Will also require face masks in public transport

Extra money and equipment have been thrown at many countries hospitals as they oddly were not anticipating a pandemic to sweep through the system

Ease up on each other guys. We're all locked down at the moment which isn't great for mental health, no need to try and destroy each other on here and just make it worse.

Get well soon Boris. I hope you get the full NHS treatment. Stuck on a trolley in a corridor for 14 hours just like my dear old gran had to the day before she died, I hope you only get treated by NHS professionals who are pikaninis with watermelon smiles and bin bags as substitutes for PPE, if not I hope they’re from the EU working here under freedom of movement, I hope you’re served sub standard lukewarm food because that’s what the budget dictates and what I really hope is that (aside from getting better) you learn something from this experience.
No, you are.
First you defend him for boasting about shaking hands and then in a change of approach you say he didn't actually shake any hands. Which is worse.
You're tying yourself in knots.
I can't be arse to argue anymore, so let's just sum it up and leave it there.
You think it's fine for him boast of shaking hands on live TV. I dont.
You think the NHS is adequately funded. I don't.
That's it. Argument over.
Prepare for a barrage of abuse from the Tory fanboys. Your points are all very valid though.

Oh dear - you’ve made an arse of yourself and attracted no support and now it’s argument over - your chum Mr Macron wasn’t socially distancing much was he?

The point is that he’s most likely got it from being around other government officials, not from hospital.

Everyone can cross off 'bringing up Macron' on their Grendel bingo cards.

Line!
Haha you're losing the plot. Putting words in my mouth. Randomly bringing up Macron. Randomly bringing up supermarkets.
Go and get some fresh air (safely).

I didn't even believe Johnson, and I said that publicly on here so its right that I also say publicly on here that I was wrong.
I don't see anyone wishing the man dead, unless I've missed that bit. However I hope he sees first hand the calibre of the people that are caring for him just now and thinks twice before fucking them all over once he's back in his office and awards them an appropriate wage to live on- wiping out some of the massive debts some of them have might be a good start bearing in mind what they're doing- we are only under capacity due to huge sums of money being thrown at it. And yet they still don't have the PPE they need. We have let them down. And I also hope that once recovered he reflects that maybe making silly throwaway comments about shaking peoples' hands knowing millions were watching was stupidity. This does not equate to wishing death on someone, nowhere close. Nor does pointing out that massive mistakes have been made- they have- whats this about buying millions of tests only to discover they're the wrong tests?
I didn't see this level of outrage when bus drivers, nurses and essential workers passed away, only arguments about whether the figures were fudged- at this point its impossible to even talk about COVID19 without death hanging in the air, so before it all gets too bitter & twisted with people saying "you want him dead" and that type of sick bullshit, so I will go crunch some numbers and drink tea.
